This course explores contents, attitudes and methods of Global Education theoretically, for personal development and for teaching practice. By this means we want to tackle the ever more increasing global complexity recognizing that everyone is part of these global processes in everyday life. In this course teacher students from Austria and Korea will study together.

During the course we want to bring these discussions to practice and analyse existing teaching material of GE as well as develop own GE projects. A little insight into the work of Südwind (local NGO) shall give some helpful inspiration. The following questions describe the contents of the course: • What is meant by GE in official documents? • What different kinds of approaches concerning GE do exist? • What does each one of us understand by GE? • How do we conceptualize globalisation, development, social inequalities and other terms when trying to implement GE? • What are the competences we want to impart in/with GE? • How can GE look like in the classroom or in extracurricular projects?

In dialogue and with discussing appropriate scientific literature central concepts of Global Education (GE) shall be approached. Through interchanging individual experiences we want to detect differences in/of our understanding of GE and find common aspects and potentials for practice. In doing so, we pay special attention to the diverse contexts of the students (esp. Austria and Korea) and aim to facilitate exchange as we think that this is one of the greatest potentials of learning within international exchange programmes. There is not one truth about global issues and the power relations shaping them. Current challenges are neither stable nor consistent and we are part of them in everyday life. The reflection of our own position and entanglement in power relations within a global society is therefore a key to find our own attitude to learn and to teach.

• Read and prepare papers for discussion • Take the minutes and prepare summaries for the group • Active participation in discussions and group work • Prepare a GE-project for implementation in groups (for the classroom or extracurricular learning)
